What's next?

Application Review. The Office of Admissions reviews application on an individual basis. Our counselors evaluate applications based on grade point average, transcript patterns, standardized test scores and personal statements. However, we look at individual students as a whole and not just as number or a score. Your application, which includes a personal statement and possibly letters of recommendation, is an opportunity for us to get to know you as an individual. We know that every student has something unique to offer, which is why we review and value all materials that you submit during the application process. Once we receive all of your application material from the checklist above the Office of Admissions will review your application. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Notification of your Admission Decision. Once your application has been reviewed you will receive a decision within 2-3 weeks.

Financial Aid Awards are Mailed. If you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) between January 1 and March 1 you can expect your Financial Aid Award letter by April 1.
